NAME
     cd - change working directory

SYNOPSIS
     cd [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION
     If directory is not specified, the value of shell parameter $HOME is used
     as the new working directory.  If directory specifies a complete path
     starting with /, ., .., directory becomes the new working directory.  If
     neither case applies, cd tries to find the designated directory relative
     to one of the paths specified by the $CDPATH shell variable.  $CDPATH has
     the same syntax as, and similar semantics to, the $PATH shell variable.
     cd must have execute (search) permission in directory.

     Because a new process is created to execute each command, cd would be
     ineffective if it were written as a normal command; therefore, it is
     recognized and is internal to the shell.

SEE ALSO
     pwd(1), sh(1), chdir(2).
